Will my Youthlennial existence only be ‘fulfilling’ if I become an EDM DJ?


Hello, are you a member of youth culture? You might be interested in this movie about how your sect of youth culture wants to become a DJ, scale an app, and ‘be more’ than what they are now. Every1 just wants to escape, becoming a ‘sick DJ’ popping bottles and flying 2 and from Las Vegas.

Have you heard of electronic music? It is the cultural fabric of what is ‘now.’ I remember when rock’n’roll bands defined the spirit of youth. I remember when indie festivals were ‘kewl.’ These days, all you need to do is become an EDM DJ [via Zac Efron].

“EDM has finally gone _______stream, yall!”
-an EDM thinkpiece about how ‘their’ cultural narrative has been ‘bastardized by Hollywood’

edm-dj-dream

We’ll never be _______, yall.
We’ll never achieve _________, yall.
All we can do is strive to be the EDM DJ / producer, collaborating with ‘a hot piece of ass singer’, millions of Instagram followers, ‘killing it’ on a private jet while we fly around the world 2 bang tons of pieces of ass. This is what we want.

“We are your friends, yall.”
-the Joucesteeces, 1994 (not sure if that was actually the year, but seems like decades ago) [via the cultural toilet.

R we ever gonna be millionares, yall?
R we ever gonna #scale our consumer art 2 the masses, yall?
Will we ever ‘find meaning’ by scaling our piece of commerce 2 the masses?
Should we focus on inventing Instagrams or writing EDM songs?
Should I just ‘go back in time, drop out of high school and focus on my EDM career’ so that I could’ve been Martin Garrix / Zac Efron?
Is it ‘sad 4 indie’ that the aesthetic of ‘finding yourself [via EDM-waves]’ is the new sound of the meaningful core demographic?

Do u ever just want to ‘go back in time’ and headline at the American Apparel factory ‘in Downtown Los Angeles, CA’?
american-apparel-factory-dj-zac-efron-we-are-your-friends
Do u ever just wish u could ‘do mad molly’ go to an EDM festival at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and ‘roll out’ while the contemporary EDM anthem ballad plays?

If u think about EDM idiots, does contemporary conformism make more sense [via old_farts trying to seem more ‘nuanced’/adult than EDM kidz in a contrived way].

R u a member of ‘youth culture’ if this movie ‘seems bad ass 2 u’?
R u officially ‘too old 4 this shit’?
Do u ever just want to listen to drone music that will never scale 2 ‘escape’ from all culture?
Do ‘stories’ need 2 be told about every ‘generation’, or are they all the same?

What’s next 4 the ‘youth’ after DJ culture?

    bro – if only someone was around to tell me that 128 bpm was the magic number… of course, start off at 125 bpm – increase it a full 1 bpm to 126, then another full 1 bpm increase to 127 and the you’ve got a career !

    Oh, Carles (sigh).
    You might have missed the mark, here.
    Half of that trailer indicated a solid motion picture
    EDM is still relevant
    High School Musical is still relevant
    I want to ride AmAppy-Wavves with Zac Braff.
    Luv u bb.

      “EDM” is relevant only as a teenage marketing device. It is tailor-made for lamestream festival t(w)eens who are discovering post-Daft Punk/non-rap electronic music for the first time, and for young queerwave/grrrlwave YouTube vlog celebs who sell fast fashion and energy drinks to their viewers.

        so basically EDM in 2k15 is like ‘folk rock’ circa 1968, ‘punk rock’ circa 1978, ‘rap’ circa 1990, ‘grunge’ circa 1991, & ‘indie rock’ circa 2k4

  • fizzle

    was thinking about becoming a late-aughts style dj to play the french beats. seemed pretty auth but now i have to reconsider.

    The motion picture industry typecasts you as an ‘old fuck’ once you hit 26.

    (Age ~26 is when American peeps suddenly become ‘discerning viewers’ and start to have better things to do than watch shitty movies and/or lose contact with their former ‘friends’ and aren’t ‘man enough’ to go to the movies alone)

    This film is clearly aimed at ‘young fucks’: those between the age of ‘tween’ & non-super senior ‘college student’. (The particular demographic sweet spot = peeps too young to remember 9/11.)

    In other news, everyone on #obamacare and everyone who ‘lost their innocence’ on 9/11 is already an ‘old fuck’—better luck next time guys ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • HollyBroLightly

    will my mascara be running, red lipstick smudged?
    am i even asking the right questions, bb, please tell me?

  • Jonathan
